Gareth Gates to gig at Bishop's Cleeve Tithe Barn

Gareth Gates will gig at Bishop's Cleeve Tithe Barn later this year, it has been announced.

The 29-year-old singer-songwriter will perform on September 5.

In 2002 Gareth came runner-up to Will Young in the UK’s first Pop Idol competition.

Instead of disappearing into ‘pop oblivion’ he carved out a successful career for himself with more than three-and-half million record sales over the course of three albums and four UK number one singles.

He won record of the year in 2002 and with that has the second best selling single of the noughties with Unchained Melody.

Tickets for his acoustic set at the Tithe Barn cost £30 and go on sale on Monday.
